PM-345Bioinformatics: From sequence to Function

The ever increasing availability of genome sequences and protein structure data demands that molecular biologists are proficient at performing extensive data analyses to guide and support traditional laboratory-based research. This Module will provide the theoretical basis and practical training on computational tools currently used to assemble and interrogate genome sequences, infer gene and protein functions, and to examine protein structure data.

PM-357Biomedical Laboratory Techniques

The module will provide practical and in depth theory of applications and equipment available to MSci students in the biomedical research laboratories based at the Medical School. The module will provide guidelines and rationale for experimental design, and data and statistical analysis.

PMLM05LC/MS Applications IV: Medical and life sciences

Students will have the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge of the role mass spectrometry plays in biomarker discovery (proteins and small molecules).with its application to clinical diagnosis including the analysis of carbohydrates, glycoproteins and nucleic acids using activity-based proteomics and techniques for affinity pull-down.

PMNM06Bioinformatics

This module will provide a general introduction to the mainstream techniques and applications of bioinformatics. The
student will be introduced to the concepts of acquiring and analysing biomolecular data using public resources and
tools with a focus on nanomedicine.The student will also be taught basic programming skills
which are fundamental to bioinformatics
